Nothing will be more hilarious to me than the party's - specially Ben's - outrage about Alex's sneaky reference to William Shakespeare slowly fading as they remember that half of the NPCs are actually historical figures. Like they are genuinally going "what's this assassin's creed? You put Shakespeare in the gift Augusta Leight gave to our honorary party member Oscar Wilde while waiting for Ada Lovelace and Nikola Tesla to see if we can talk to the brain of Charles Babbage about the mission Albert Einstein teleported us to? Shakespeare a whole historical person? We are here thanks to flying with Emilia Earhart btw."

Biography

Allegory

Artist: Piero di Cosimo (Florentine, 1462-1522)

Date: c. 1500

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, United States

Overview

Best known for his portraits, altarpieces, and religious and mythological narratives, Piero di Cosimo created only one surviving allegory. In this painted personification of abstract concepts, a winged woman, largely nude despite her two layers of mantles secured by knots, extends a sprig of juniper and daintily holds a rearing stallion by a string. She has been convincingly identified as Chastity, who effortlessly contains the forces of Lust embodied by her virile steed. The figures occupy a rocky island adorned with barren trees, surrounded by a misty waterscape. The double-tailed mermaid who energetically parts the seas before them may be understood as a siren symbolizing the dangers of carnal passion.

In the Renaissance, recondite allegories such as this often adorned the covers and reverses of portraits, testifying to the virtues of their sitters. Piero’s panel may originally have decorated his likeness of Simonetta Vespucci in the guise of Cleopatra (Musée Condé, Chantilly). The work’s spare execution and delicate gray tonalities, punctuated by the brilliant red of the lady’s costume, would befit this secondary function. The evocative, even impressionistic atmosphere that envelops the figures is typical of Piero, whose powers of fantastic invention are matched by careful attention to the natural prospect.

I made 2 new covers of a Sonic storybook game of my ideas.

When I get to know the storybook series I thought it was a way forSonic to have the same duality of Pokemon games and later I thought it was to have new mechanics and kinda a way for him to do crossovers at that time the producers wouldn't be allowed to do:

in my opinion "secret rings" considering the colored rings and female genie was like a sonic crossover with Nights the nightmaren while "the black knight" was a context-less crossover with Zelda or team Ico games so I also wanted to make games a kind of crossover even cause they're still in my own Au where I make Sonic meet others.

To inform who doesn't know I made "Duality" based on the neverending story, with sonic having that amulet which is inspired by the Oren;

Also some people may tell that the 2nd slide is about the story of the Prince of Egypt, with Sonic who has to lead everyone to find a new home, I added some details from Skylanders cause in my opinion Sonic, after all he did in what we saw, gets chosen to do the ritual of a true hero's journey which is the games of "JOUNEY" & "SKY: COTL" and after that he's the one to bring many convoys that lost their lands to a new place accompanied by Merlina and Nights, at least that's what I headcanon.

i said this before but it bears repeating.

what i love the most about my current roomate and best friend is that she, more than anyone ive ever met, has the capacity to play along with whatever stupid joke i start playing into.

i will start doing a bit or throw some ironic comment and she will, on the spot, no hesitation, no questions asked, respond in character, taking the statement at face value. and myself, never one to let go an opportunity for horsing around, will start responding along and suddenly we are both trapped in a 30 minute long improv session where we will construct incredibly detailed characters and lore, never breaking character, both refusing to let the bit end.

i never met anyone who could, so presistently and so convincingly play into whatever scene we spin on the spot. she wont wink wink nudge nudge at the camera, she wont break character, she wont snicker or become self concious about it. in a complete deadpan she will become a completly different person with the minimum ammount of prodding necesary to the point that at times it becomes hard to tell if she's joking

Sooo some new/old/changed hcs for Jenny and Vee xD

Since we have Raph and Mikey with did-like system and Leo and Donnie are insomniacs I’ve decided to bestow them on sisters too xD

Jenny would be on team Raph|Mikey because of her Jessica alter-ego. (like to think that Jenny is more laid-back xD)

Venus would be on Leo|Donnie team because you can’t live peaceful and restful life with Big Mama xD

Also. I like to think she named herself. And she picked ‘Venus’ because she is ALSO into stage magic.

Vanitas Portrait of the Painter

Artist: Antonie van Steenwinckel (Flemish, Unknown-1688)

Genre: Self Portrait

Date: 1678-1685

Collection: Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, Belgium

Description

A mirror reflects what is probably the self-portrait of the painter Antonie van Steenwinckel. He is a distinguished man and is looking out at the viewer. His distinctive features are drooping eyelids, a wide, protruding nose and a neatly trimmed moustache and beard.

He is wearing a dark grey cloak and a high collar with white lace. On his blond locks he has a large hat with a high brim. An hourglass, two books and a skull are displayed on a wooden table with an open, empty drawer. The objects are reflected in the black-framed mirror that a young man is holding up by the sides. He, too, is looking at the viewer.

This painting combines a self-portrait with a vanitas scene, both of which allude to the brevity of life. Van Steenwinckel leaves no doubt about the relativity of his mirror image. He shows himself to be content and self-assured. But the hourglass, book and skull in the foreground remind us and the artist that the time, life and fame that people can enjoy on earth do not last forever.
